Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Jolana, you will soon learn that it's awfully hard - no, it's impossible - to stop the kindness & generosity of the members of this site so you will just have to get used to getting acorns real fast. ATP is not just a group of people who love gardening who go on an online website for gardening related things. Here at ATP we are a FAMILY -- ATP family. We all work together to make the site the best in the world. We help, we get help, we give, we receive, we become fast friends, we worry about each other, we share triumphs as well as defeats, we console & we are consoled, we are tutors & students, continually seeking more knowledge. We contribute to building the database to make it the best, most comprehensive in the world for we truly feel this is "our" site - we have a certain pride in ATP *because* "WE" ARE ATP. Trish said ATP doesn't only stand for All Things Plants but also for All The People. The All The People is us! Each & every one.
To get an idea of how democratic this site is just read a bunch of threads here:
http://garden.org/forums/view/...
It's a good idea to watch the site talk forum anyway and that is also where you will post requests for things you think would improve ATP or if you seem to be having a problem with a particular function or there seems to be a bug in the system. Dave constantly monitors that forum & will be Johnny On The Spot if there's a problem.
Another forum all members should monitor is this one:

and here you can meet the Whitinger family as well as see the video where the winners of one of our Not-A-Raffle-Raffle's are announced.
The thread "And the winners are...!" in
The September Spring Bulbs, Agastache and Salvias Not-A-Raffle-Raffle!
